Bless Parents, Spouses, Children w/ Spiritual Hunger, Fellowship, Wisdom, Revelation, Fruit, Hearers & Doers of Word, Mind Renewal, Rom 12:1-3...

Father, thank You for gains as we've already taken the bow and shot the arrow of victory, 2 Kings 13:15-17, we continue to strike the ground as when You spoke to Joash through Elisha, not three times, not even 5 or 6 times, 2 Kings 13:18-19, but we strike and strike and strike again, and again, and again, until they enemy be beaten off their lives, until they are ablaze with the victory secured by Jesus Messiah, King over sin, death, hell, fear, lofty thoughts, invisible forces, 2 Cor 10:3-7 over our Parents, Spouses, Children, Friends, Pastors, Churches, Online Prayer Friends, Ministry Teams, those we coach, our cities, Jer 29:7, our states, regions, "until all who lived in Asia Minor heard the Word of The Lord," Acts 19:10, until signs and wonders are performed and demons come out of extraordinary miracles take place, diseases leave the sick and evil spirits go out of many," Acts 19:11-12, over ministries, leaders, judges, local, state and national government -- May they ALL Read and Understand The Bible Together (for which so many have died to get into our hands at great sacrifice -- may our parents, spouses, family, friends, online communities read their Bible Apps or matching [size=7GIANT font Bibles [size=5].

Please undo decades of wrong thinking, Mark 12:24, Matt 22:29, exchange the worries and cares of life, deceitfulness of riches and desires for other things, Mark 4:19. for minds set on the things above where Christ is, Col 3:1-2. Renew his, her, our and all those we listed's minds, Rom 12:2-3. May they (and all our parents, wives, husbands, children, friends, praying friends, those who we guide in any way and pray for, etc.) have the mind of Christ, 1 Cor 2:16, be renewed in the "spirit of our minds" Eph 4:23, Help them enjoy reading and desire to watch edifying movies with me, help my parents listen, understand, retain info and be doers, James 1:22-23. Let us be filled with wisdom, love, kindness and ability to impart the Holy Spirit -- Heb 6:1-2. Would be a shame if either missed eternity, remove any blindness, release light 2 Cor 4:6, love Rom 5:5 and may the evil one be bound, gaged and choked with a great chain by "an angel," and hurled into the abyss, Rev 20:1-2. Thanksgiving we let our requests be made known and may the peace of Christ that passes all comprehension guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus' Name, Phil 4:6-7.

 

[Articles]

We join you in this mighty intercession for our parents, spouses, children, friends, pastors, churches, online prayer friends, ministry teams and all those we coach and influence, and for our cities, regions and leaders in government.

We agree with you for a deep spiritual hunger to be birthed in each of them, that they would not be satisfied with the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things which choke the word, as Jesus warned in Mark 4:19, but that their minds would be set on the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God in Colossians 3:1-2. We pray that each one would present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is their spiritual service, and not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of their minds, so that they may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God as taught in Romans 12:1-2.

We love your heart to keep striking the ground in prayer, not growing weary, not stopping at three or five or six times as in 2 Kings 13:18-19, but persevering until the victory secured by Jesus Messiah is manifest over sin, death, fear and every lofty thought. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. We stand with you that the blinders would be removed, for God who said light will shine out of darkness has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ in 2 Corinthians 4:6, and that the love of God would be poured out into their hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us in Romans 5:5.

We pray that they would have the mind of Christ in 1 Corinthians 2:16 and be renewed in the spirit of their minds in Ephesians 4:23, undoing decades of wrong thinking that comes from not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God in Matthew 22:29 and Mark 12:24. We ask that they would not be hearers only, deluding themselves, but hearers and doers of the Word in James 1:22, delighting to read the Bible together, to understand it, to retain it and to walk it out daily. We thank God for the great sacrifice of those who gave the Bible into our hands and we pray that this hunger would lead to true fellowship, wisdom, revelation and lasting fruit in their lives.

We also affirm with you the goodness of godly marriage as ordained by God to be between a man and a woman for life, and we pray that every husband and wife among those you have listed would be strengthened in that covenant, growing in love, kindness, wisdom and unity, and that every home would be built on the Word. We pray for parents and children together that they would spur one another on toward love and good deeds and toward watching and reading what edifies and honors Christ.

We pray for our leaders, judges and all in authority, for ministries and churches, that all who live in our regions would hear the Word of the Lord as in Acts 19:10, and that God would work extraordinary miracles, healing and deliverance as in Acts 19:11-12, so that His name would be magnified and many set free.

Father, we thank You that You have already given us the bow and the arrow of victory in Christ, and we now in faith continue to strike the ground in prayer until the enemy is beaten back from every life we have lifted before You. We ask that You would bind the work of the evil one and release Your light, Your truth and Your peace. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let our requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:6-7.

We rejoice that you have come boldly in the name of Jesus Messiah, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved and by which we have access to the Father, and we agree together that every person named in this prayer would know Him deeply, walk in renewed minds, and bear fruit that remains for His glory. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our King and our victory. Amen.

We hear the deep love in your prayer for your parents, spouse, children and so many others God has placed on your heart. Wanting them to hunger for Him, to enjoy fellowship, to have wisdom and renewed minds and to live out what they hear is a beautiful burden to carry, and we are honored to carry it with you.

We have found that this kind of renewal is usually more like training than trying. Small, steady steps over time shape us more than trying to do everything at once. Spiritual fruit grows slowly, and growth often moves in loops rather than a straight line, so seasons that feel slow or uneven do not mean God is not at work.

When the list feels long, it can help to narrow your focus for a season. Perhaps choose one simple, sustainable rhythm with the people closest to you, like reading a short passage together once or twice a week and talking honestly about what you hear, or pausing to pray briefly together at a regular time. Consistency in a small thing often opens the door for more, and it keeps discouragement from building when you cannot cover everything.

We are praying with you for each name, church and community you mentioned.

Father, draw our parents, spouses, children and friends closer to Yourself. Give them hunger for You, clear minds and soft hearts to hear and do Your will, and fellowship that strengthens them. Guard their hearts with Your peace and keep forming them to be more like Jesus. In Jesus name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest cry for parents, spouses and children to hunger for the Word and to be renewed in mind has been heard, and we join you in laying it before the throne of grace.

There is much to commend in this desire that those nearest to you should not be mere hearers of the Word but doers, James 1:22, and that their minds should be transformed according to Romans 12:2. True spiritual hunger is itself a gift of God. As has been preached among us, when a man's strength is bitten with hunger, his whole nature rages with want, and so it is with the soul that has been awakened. The world may be full of plenty and yet the heart be devoured with emptiness till Christ fills it. We pray that the Lord will create such a holy hunger in your household and in all those you name, a hunger that no entertainment and no care of this life can satisfy, but only Christ Himself.

This hunger must lead to obedience, for faith without obedience is lifeless. Faith is the morning star of obedience, and obedience is the highest practical courage. It is not a single act of zeal but a persistence through life, to observe to do according to all that the Lord has commanded, turning not to the right hand nor to the left. The exactness of obedience is the essence of obedience. We are not to bend the Bible to our creed, but our creed to the Bible, and to keep close to the Divine mind in little things as well as great. Therefore we pray not only that your loved ones would read the Scriptures, for which so many have suffered to place in our hands, but that they would search them with an intelligent and willing spirit, asking, What would the Lord have me to do, and then hastening to do it. Prompt obedience is blessed obedience. As those women who ran to bring the disciples word were rewarded by meeting Jesus Himself in the way, so those who run in the way of His commands shall find His presence refreshing their souls.

We pray also for that gracious renewal which only God can give. No created thing is self existent, and the soul must be renewed day by day by the power that raised Christ from the dead. This is the renewal in the spirit of your mind, Ephesians 4:23, the setting of affection on things above where Christ sitteth, Colossians 3:1, and the receiving of the mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16. We ask the Lord to undo wrong thinking, to exchange the deceitfulness of riches and the cares of this life for wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, and to cause His light to shine in darkened hearts, 2 Corinthians 4:6.

In all these prayers we seek the Lord according to His own holy order. We ask that salvation be known through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, and that every home represented would be built upon that one foundation. We ask that marriage be honoured as God has ordained it from the beginning, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that purity be kept within that covenant as God wills, knowing that sex and living together belong within it. Where any have departed from this way we pray not for a blessing upon the departure, but for grace unto repentance, for forgiveness through the blood of Christ, and for strength to walk in newness of life. We pray for parents and children, for husbands and wives, that they may dwell together in love and in the fear of the Lord, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and that your fellowship together around the Word and in edifying pursuits may be sweet and profitable.

May the Lord make you steadfast to strike again and again in prayer, not in presumption but in faithful persistence, wrestling until the victory which Christ has already secured is made manifest in lives delivered from sin and fear and from every lofty thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, 2 Corinthians 10:5. May He guard your own heart and mind with that peace which passeth all understanding as you make your requests known unto Him, Philippians 4:6 and 7, and may He cause you and all those for whom you intercede to prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We commend you and your parents, spouses, children, pastors, churches and all your fellow labourers to Him who is able to keep you from falling, praying that you may be filled with the fruit of the Spirit and abound in every good work, to the praise of His glory.
